The Democrat party’s recent Hispanderfest event masquerading as “debate” has to go down as one of the most despicable political events ever foisted upon this nation. I can sum it all up in one statement:
If it is illegal for anyone to take the oath of citizenship in any language other than english and equally illegal for someone to obtain citizenship without being able to understand english, then by extension it is contemptuously wrong for an American political party to encourage people to cast a ballots when they likely have violated their oath and can’t possibly possess the means to have a first-hand understanding of the issues as presented through the common language of the polity.
One major affront to American sensibilities I hadn’t considered, mostly because I was too aghast at the brazen disaffection for my nation exhibited by the party and the candidates who participated, was that the debate was moderated by a Mexican citizen; that is, until Allan Wall clued me in over at VDare.
Think about this for a minute.
Americans of all political stripes are prone to complain about the predispositions of debate moderators, and usually with good reason. It is humanly impossible for any person to compose serious questions of this sort without interjecting the flavor of their own predispositions into them. Thus, both the tenor and composition of the responses must necessarily be at least somewhat framed on the grounds established by the questioner’s preconceptions, experience and interests.

To make clear how absurd it is that the Democrats are taking no issue with a Mexican citizen being allowed to have a major hand in the structure and tenor of a presidential debate, consider that if an American citizen who happened to be a Mexican resident had the audacity to moderate a debate between Mexican candidates, he’d be immediately deported. Or imprisoned.
By law, only Mexicans can participate in Mexican political processes.
Considering that the average Mexican citizen is far more accepting of corruptions and the average American citizen, it’s understandable that Mexican should “need” such a law to protect themselves from cleverly subtle sedition.
On the other hand, any self-respecting American political party should not need a similar law or rule to accomplish the same ends. Only a party that has fully abandoned tradition and common sense would allow an sort of non-citizen to moderate such a debate. There is no lower level of pandering than to address voters in any language other than english while guided by an alien resident who is a citizen subject of another nation.
What’s next, Democrats? A Jihadist-Panderfest moderated by a Mullah?
Don’t laugh, Dhimmicratz, it is the slippery slope of you are now on.
Here’s what Allan Wall had to say about it:
Patriotic Americans of Hispanic ancestry don’t need to be pandered to and they don’t need a special tailor-made forum to attract their attention. But obviously, this media event wasn’t staged for them—it was staged for Hispanics who put their ethnicity before their American citizenship.Furthermore,
- does Jorge Ramos, a Mexican citizen, have any business moderating an American political debate?
Would Mexico allow Lou Dobbs to moderate a debate for Mxican presidential candidates? Of course not.
I want to know when Howard Dean has scheduled the Pasty-White-Assed-Guy-Panderfest! And can I be the moderator?

The English language requirement is a sham:

(…)
Most applicants must also have a working knowledge of the English language (there are exceptions for long-resident older applicants and those with mental or physical disabilities), although this requirement is not intended to be an onerous one, since the test requires that they read and write simple sentences in English, such as “The United States is a democracy”.

USCIS is aware that the current system for testing naturalization applicants lacks uniformity and in many ways is not a meaningful measure of civics knowledge or English skills

A mexican citizen moderating an American presidential debate is treason. All politicians and media that allowed it should be arrested for treason. Jorge the mexican citizen should be shown the door and American citizens should be able to shoot on site when he comes back. Do they want a war?
